i asked sigma what triggers would work using the flash on a sony (alpha mount) camera...here's their response..."I believe the Pocket Wizard Transceivers, GVI radio slaves and some units from Venca will function with them..."...

Yes! I'm trying to use my EF-610 DG Super with a Pixel King and it will not operate correctly. http://sunfunnelphotography.com

It would be helpfull if you told us what triggers and what camera u are using.I bought Pixel King Wireless iTTL triggers for NIkon and they do not work with my Sigma EF-530-DG-Super... so you see it is not only about the Flash...

It worked on my Canon 60D. However, the exposures were not consistent. I sometimes touched the channel buttons and then had to reset. I ended up returning them and getting the Pocket Wizard Flex TT5, Mini & AC3. They gave me more flexibilty and will connect with different strobes. They also can be controlled with the Sekonic 478DR meter.

No yet it works just grand on Canon EOS 7D. It's a great flash, equal, in my mind, to the Canon product. Of course I like Sigma products, and have since folks at the National Geographic magazine told me(when I had Nikon F4) that Sigma lenses were just as good as Nikon's and cheaper. I really like me EF-610 DG. It works grand and I examined the Canon(a very good product)yet if your wanting to save a few bucks the Sigma is just great.

Incorrect. You must have a radio transmitter trigger on your camera, either built in to your master flash or a transmitter mounted on the camera's hotshoe.

Look for a break in the cable somewhere, or a faulty push button switch on the transmitter. If it's focusing the camera, the RF section seems to be working. Does the wired unit fire the shutter when used alone, pushing it's button instead of the one on the transmitter? If so, it's the transmitter unit not getting the fire shutter signal out. Check your signal cables if you can. There are 3; A ground, a focus half press, and a fire shutter full press line. Test them if you know how, or know someone who does. What make/model of camera are you using it on?

It will trigger (practically) as many flashes as you can afford, one RF trigger for each flash. Or, you can simply use the optical flash to trigger your other flashes if you don't want to buy extra RF triggers. But, if you are shooting anywhere where there are lights popping even from cell phones, or if the flashes are non-line-of-sight, you will want each of your flashes to have its own FR trigger. You can set up several arrays with multiple flashes, such as in two different areas, and trigger them using the different channels on the trigger (be sure the receivers' channels are set the same). I love this unit and it has performed flawlessly. I use it a lot to shoot roller derby which is fast and unpredictable.

I have an A6000 with the same Sony multi interface hotshoe. The flash itself will fire from the hotshoe, but the wireless triggers that go with it will not. I am trying to find a solution for this problem, using either adapters or a yn rf-602 trigger in between. I've read on some forums that the rf-602 and rf-603II triggers work. You'd just have to put the run 2 triggers.Post a solution if you find one. The flashes are great, btw.

This is a "dumb" trigger. It has no TTL capability. So you would need to use the flashes in manual mode.

Actually, I have done it. If the 430EXii is in slave mode and the red part of the flash is pointed towards any other flash, the 430EXii will fire if the original flash is powerful/close enough. Happy shooting.

Will it fire? Yes. Will it work in full TTL Auto Mode? I don't think so. I use these in slaved multiple flash situations and they function beautifully for that purpose. There is also a newer version of this flash but the previous version is also being sold I think. If you do buy, make sure you get the newer version. Would advise getting advice from someone who can address a solution your needs and knowledge level before you buy. Good luck!

I have used the Odin TTL trigger extensively on my Canon 5DIII with a Canon 580 EX strobe over the last year and have been extremely satisfied with it. Adjustment of flash level and hi speed sync work like a charm. To date I have not found a maximum distance that it won't work at--and have shot several hundred feet away from subjects without any misfiring. Almost never has the unit failed. With the TTL capabilites and adjustments I'm not sure why anyone would want a pocket wizard. Strongly recommmended with the Canon systems.

Yes it will trigger the flash but no communication will be passed through the Hot shoe for TTL exposure settings. Just fire a test shot and make exposure adjustments on the fly. Isn't that what makes Digital Great? P.S. Make sure your in single shot mode unless your shooting at 1/3rd power or less the flash won't trigger for the second,3rd,4th,5th,6th,11th shot. 1-2sec or worse recycle time on that flash.
